    Wow! ^^ My thoughts would be this: I believe it would put too much wear on the suspension components. Tie rods, sway bar end links, CV axles, that are not designed to work at angles other than designed for the factory engineered ride height. I had a 3rd gen Dakota before that I put 2" spacers on the front. Stuff started breaking/failing shortly thereafter, and mine was a pavement queen.

    Now that we have the formalities out of the way, lol. Play nice fellas. I know a few who inquired about lifting. I don’t think there is a commercial off the shelf solution. Lack of demand. Wonder if coil spring spacers designed for another vehicle could be modified to fit..... the currect selection of aftermarket headlights pretty much suck as far as light output. Custom retrofit is the way to go. Welcome to the forum Semperfied. You will fit in nicely here.

    Some forum members may not be quite as advanced with mechanical knowledge as you seem to be. We are a diverse group with different skill sets we bring to the table. Try to keep it in perspective and try not to come across as a know it all.

    That's a reasonable price for a dealership brake flush.

    No differences except driver "conveniences". Mechanically they are identical. It boils down to what accessories/conveniences you want as an owner of the vehicle. Pick the one that best suits your needs.

    Possibly a broken or shorted heating element. Only way to find out is to ohm out the elements and/or remove the seat cover and inspect them.

    https://2019suvs.com/dodge/2019-dodge-journey/ It will most likely look like the dozen or so comparative models out there today.

    LMGTFY: It has simplified the lineup by dropping the Crossroad Plus trim and has made last year’s optional third row of seats standard for 2018. Otherwise, a new dark-colored 19-inch wheel design that Dodge is calling Black Noise is now available on the Crossroad trim, and the brand’s popular Blacktop package—gloss-black exterior mirrors, grille, wheels, and roof rails—is now available on SE, SXT, and GT models. Basically nothing but trim. It’s a tired 10 year old platform. I wonder how much longer they are going to keep it going.

    I third. You need to have it looked at by a professional.
  10. jkeaton
    Yes. What was the “slight mod”? You say they fit but........ provide all relevant information so people are not mislead.
  11. jkeaton
    Probably won’t work that way but good luck.

    Could also be the ABS activating if you are pressing hard enough for the vehicle to interpret it as a panic stop situation. In which case, it is normal. You are going to have to demonstrate the issue to the dealer.

    Cool. Let’s see some pics!
  14. jkeaton
    Sweet!

    Moved to the correct section. You posted in the forum help section. What kind of loud noise? Where Ian the noise coming from? Need more information.

    You don’t have insurance to repair your vehicle?

    Rock auto lists the same sensor for both upstream and downstream. 4 wire. Along with autozone, advance, etc.

    Cars twice as old dont have all the computers and electronics on cars these days. You cant compare the two. I'd be looking for a used TB from a junk yard. I see you're in Canada. Too bad, I can buy a new TB from a parts store for less than $200 and install it myself.

    Oh. I read it wrong then. Sounded like you were going to purchase cross bars "at some point" but wanted to start using a carrier now. Personally I'd spring for the lifters. Having to push the lid up far enough for the levers to lock so the lid stays up on the one I have is quite challenging.
  20. jkeaton
    Good to know..
  21. jkeaton
    I have not see a roof cargo carrier that does not sit directly on the roof surface without cross bars, so I can't recommend anything. I have both a hard case and a soft case. For the hard case, I installed rubber "feet" at the roof contact points to protect the paint. The soft one really needs nothing as it's, well, soft..lol. IMHO, you are overthinking it.....

    You should be good then. I think the interval is @100,000 miles. Owners manual maintenance schedule will tell you.
  23. jkeaton
    I have had minimal issues with both our DJ's. Others have had nightmares. All manufacturers have one model or another that bites them in the behind. Good luck with whatever you do.
  24. jkeaton
    Just a heads up, don't know how many miles 71000 km's is but the 3.5 has a timing belt that needs to be changed at certain mileage intervals.

    There is not a readily available passenger power seat conversion. I'm sure it can be done, but is the payback worth the effort and cost? How many times does your passenger need to adjust the seat?
